“For these women, the liberty of privacy means that they alone should choose whether they serve as human incubators for the five months leading up to viability,” McBurney wrote. “It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a Commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could – or should – force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another.”
In a footnote, McBurney added: “There is an uncomfortable and usually unspoken subtext of involuntary servitude swirling about this debate, symbolically illustrated by the composition of the legal teams in this case. It is generally men who promote and defend laws like the Life Act, the effect of which is to require only women – and, given the socio-economic and demographic evidence presented at trial, primarily poor women, which means in Georgia primarily black and brown women – to engage in compulsory labor, ie, the carrying of a pregnancy to term at the government’s behest.”
And thanks to the echoing voice of Judith Jarvis Thomson.

Meanwhile the mouth breathing forced birthers in another thread are whining about condoms being cheap or bananas or something. They’re really quite pleased that this is where women’s health care is now.

I’m glad that someone finally said a plain truth.

Very well said.

Nothing is secure until it is secure everywhere.
this won't matter to the voters that care more about immigration and the economy, despite the numbers on the economy and forewarning about Trumps tariffs AND the fact that he blew up the immigration bill. I'll never understand how someone like Trump has control over so many people.
It's truly mindboggling.

Because it isn’t about reason. Though they can supply (stupid, fatuous and ultimately ill founded) reasons, they’re not real reasons with any reason behind them. And so they’re untroubled when what they say matters to them is unsupported by the party they vote for. They’re unreachable until they decide they’re reachable.

Someone with deep pockets like Mark Cuban should set up mobile clinics.
